What is bubble tea?
Bubble tea, also known as boba or milk tea, is a popular beverage that originated in Taiwan, made by combining tea brewed from tea bags with milk or fruit flavors. To create the signature “bubbles,” tapioca starch is boiled to form chewy tapioca pearls, which are then stirred in simple syrup for sweetness. These tapioca balls are poured into the bottom of a glass, over which the flavored tea mixture is added. The drink is typically served with large straws, allowing you to enjoy both the liquid and the tapioca pearls in each sip.
